Mordecai: Titan's lead major chaos offensive towards Festergax

In late 10.021M42 the forces of chaos had retaken Kuneus from the Imperium and were looking for ways to further push back the imperial advance on Mordecai Secundus. Both sides had recently deployed giant titans to the planet, and the worshippers of the dark gods were keen to bring these forces into action. The offensive thus planned by the enemies of general Kutuzov was more about destroying the imperial war engines than it was to gain strategic locations.

The Imperium had deployed their titans in the central sector of the front, in preparation for a wide sweeping advance across the flat lands of the Mekken plateau. Using the power of Astralis the chaos war leaders quickly deployed their own titans to face them and launched an immediate surprise attack. Across the vast plateau, close to an old exhausted mining complex, the two forces met in a violent and ground shaking engagement.

Taken somewhat by surprise the imperial titan legion faired badly, losing several of the mighty war engines to their corrupted counterparts, and compromising the entirety of Kutuzov's central front. The chaos titans crashed through and over the imperial trenches, forcing the supporting guard regiments to abandon their forward positions and fall back towards Festergax, leaving behind the burning hulks of their giant war machines as a testimony to the violence that had been witnessed on the plateau. With their own titans destroyed, the Imperium now dug in around the city, although the chaos engines would themselves need to repair and refit before re-joining the advance.
